On January 25, 2013, SK hynix Inc., SK hynix America Inc., SK hynix U.K. Ltd., and SK

21 hynix Deutschland GmbH (collectively, "SK hynix") filed a motion for summary judgment of
22 unenforceability of the patents-in-suit based on the asserted collateral estoppel effect of the January
23 2, 2013 decision of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. Rambus shall file a
24 response to the motion on or before February 15, 2013. The court will advise the parties if it wishes
25 a reply from SK hynix. Rambus shall address whether application of the collateral estoppel doctrine
26 is discretionary in this instance and, if so, whether the court should apply the doctrine given the
27 procedural postures of this case and the Delaware case.
